My mom had "never eat raw meat; always cook your meat" drilled into her head so much the first time we went to a "sushi" restaurant she was terrified I might eat raw fish despite them only serving California Rolls and the like.
Meanwhile I only eat salmon raw I like it so much more than when it's cooked.
Will Americans get credit for getting over the "never eat raw meat" taboo in a single generation?
I think people are over it. There are particular things we eat raw: oysters, fish eggs. There are still things like beef that are taboo to eat raw. But fish is old news.
